Rachelle Boyer

RMT

My name is Rachelle Boyer. I was born and raised here in Saskatoon and graduated from the professional institute of massage therapy with distinction in 2014. I am registered with the natural health practitioners of Canada.

My own life experiences brought me to this amazing career. I always knew I wanted to help people, but I did not know in what manner, it first began with an application to become a police officer, but the universe had different plans.

“Do what you love, and you won’t have to work a day in your life”. I strongly agree with this quote, for what I do does not feel like work. It’s a connection. It’s a feeling. It’s listening. I do not have one particular style, I have many, because I need to listen to what the client needs are, body and mind. I will strive to provide my clients with optimal care and an effective treatment plan. I’ll be in this career for as long as it allows me.

When I am not at the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, exercising, cooking, and many genres of music.

Leanne Dickie Chester

RMT

I have practiced as a registered massage therapist in Saskatoon since 1998, after graduating from McKay School of Massage and Hydrotherapy with a diploma with honours and an award of excellence.

My massage style is directly complimentary to the needs of your body whether it be through deep tissue massage techniques or the lighter side of relaxation where you can relax and let go. I tailor your treatment plan to your individual health history, treatment goals and needs.

I do not limit my massage therapy style to any particular condition. I have a lot of experience and success helping people to reduce pain in their lives. With my history of working closely with Chiropractors and Physiotherapists for the past 17 years, I have gained extensive knowledge and expertise in finding solutions for many acute and chronic conditions. Stress, Headaches, Back & Neck pain, Whiplash, Sciatica, Strains/Sprains, Insomnia to name a few. I strive to find and treat the root cause behind your apparent symptoms, and I am always up for a challenge.

I believe in a connection between client and therapist, built on mutual trust to help facilitate the therapeutic benefits of your treatment.

I am a firm believer in being proactive and taking personal responsibility for your own health. I believe this, in part, is what has prompted you to seek massage therapy as part of your healthcare regime. I encourage everyone to live an active lifestyle which includes exercise and stretching, and I look forward to helping you find the activities that are suitable for any conditions you may have.

I also believe in a multidisciplinary approach to health care. Although massage therapy goes a long way to improve a multitude of conditions I am not so bias to believe it is the only nor the most appropriate solution in all cases. If I or you feel that massage therapy alone is not helping you, I will gladly refer you to other practitioners.
